I’m looking for advice on what to use to prime wood for an outdoor sign and which paint is best for the background colour. I’ve got Handover’s own brand gloss enamel for the lettering. Thanks in advance, your videos are The Best!
Hi Joby. I hope you don’t mind me asking more questions. What would the next layer be on top of the aluminium primer? The main background colour is going to be ivory so I imagine I’ll need undercoat to cover the grey aluminium primer, is that correct? Then would I use a domestic exterior gloss for the ivory background or would I use the sign writing enamel? I would like this project to last as long as possible of course! Thanks in advance ❤
@@RebeccaFreear I would use two Craftmaster Paint undercoats followed by two Craftmaster Paint top coats, rubbing down between each coat of paint. The undercoats would ideally be a similar coat to the colour your are using, Joby has an upcoming coach painting course taking place on 16 July, do come along if you are able as how to undertake tasks such as this will be being taught.
Hi Joby! What kind of paint do I use to paint the background? I used one shot but then barely had any paint left! I’m figuring you save the expensive paint just for the lettering? So what kind of paint do you use for the board? Spray paint?
Hiya, I use Craftmaster Paints mainly. They do a range of Signwriting Paint and Coachpaint. However if using one of my pre-prepared boards that are available from my website in various colours, I just paint right on to either the shiny or matt side depending on what I am painting. Hope that helps 🙂
I wonder if Revell Enamel Model paints would work for painting small signs

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it. I’m buying ‘Tips and Tricks’ to help with my project
